Fylde manager Dave Challinor celebrates with his players after an FA Cup Second Round match with Wigan

“The 17-year-old also became Fylde’s youngest ever goalscorer, and his performances have not gone unnoticed.

“Earlier in the season, the likes of Stoke, Leeds and Middlesbrough were said to be tracking him.

“Leicester would face competition for his signature, and it would be no surprise of a bidding war ensued for the Fylde youngster. Versatile Tasdemir originally rose up through the ranks at Blackburn before leaving for Fylde in 2016.

“And he looks poised to make a return to the Football League after helping his side achieve a seventh-place finish as the division’s top scorers.

“Whether Tasdemir can follow in the footsteps of Jamie Vardy in building his way up from non-league to becoming a Premier League winner and potentially a Leicester hero remains to be seen.”

Karanka's Tomlin hint

Tomlin doesn’t appear to have a long-term future with the newly promoted Premier League Bluebirds and he enjoyed his loan spell with Forest last season. Forest manager Aitor Karanka is an admirer of a player he signed for Boro back in 2014 and has dropped several hints that a deal could be agreed this summer.

Aitor Karanka with Lee Tomlin

The Nottingham Post wrote: “Nottingham Forest boss Aitor Karanka has dropped a major hint over the future of Lee Tomlin, suggesting the Cardiff City forward wants to extend his stay at the City Ground.

“The mercurial Tomlin was allowed to leave Cardiff in a January deadline day loan swap with Jamie Ward and went on to shine in Forest colours.

“Tomlin scored four goals and laid on three assists in 15 games for the East Midlands side, prompting questions around his Bluebirds future after a frustrating six-month spell in South Wales yielded just a single strike.

“Karanka, speaking to the Nottingham Post , has now hinted that Tomlin along with ex Newcastle loanee Jack Colback and Watford goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon would like to return to Forest.”
